Depending on the surgical procedure conducted, the incidence of SSI is about 20%, which is a significant number. In most of the cases, the endogenous flora are the causative agents of SSIs, but it also depends on the type of surgery. The most common organisms isolated from SSIs are, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococci, Escherichia coli, and Enterococcus species.
The risk of SSIs can be reduced by a systematic attention to multiple factors, which also include the patient-physician/nurse interaction and procedure related factors. The CDC provided guidelines for preventing the SSIs, which emphasize the need of aseptic practices, appropriate patient preparation, and antimicrobial prophylaxis. This scenario demands a strong need for evaluating the techniques that can be implemented to the routine clinical practice to reduce the incidence of SSIs.
